There's an upside to all this.
Now that the Supreme Court has opened the gate, dozens, maybe hundreds of towns will start chomping up private property. The nation will FINALLY express proper outrage and state-level legislators will have no choice but to act.
There are casualties in every war. Mrs Kelo and her neighbors have fallen, but I'm betting that their loss will be the catalyst that ends this nonsense once and for all.
I hope so... my house is in a "growth path."
Thank you for the cheerful input!
